Fight Thread Comments

41	/u/perfektstranger said I am expecting high level technique and serious, mature discussion surrounding the undercard WMMA fights. Inshallah
36	/u/udar55 said Fines aren’t enough. Missing weight should start a fighter with an automatic point deduction.
34	/u/TugaTheGoat said Doing my colonoscopy prep while hanging with da booooooys to watch the fights. Could be worse, let’s go!
32	/u/Reddings-Finest said lmao wtf, Finney wildly entertaining, historic slams, and Dana with the logic of “im hurting you if I sign you” Right up there with his wife beater logic.
29	/u/Reddings-Finest said Oh look, don’t sign the undefeated physical freak, but sign the Air Force guy who looked like dogshit because he is from Boston and the show is sponsored by the AirForce….
